When examining a trap with '/' or ';', show
|a trap (arrow trap)
instead of
|a trap or a vibrating square (arrow trap)
outside of Gehennom (unless the trap actually is a vibrating square,
which could happen via wizard mode wish). The extra verbosity is
distracting, and limiting mention of the vibrating square to the region
where it's relevant may give a hint to players getting that far for the
first time.
Preformat SYSCF entry 'WIZARDS' so that it can be displayed during panic
feedback without allocating memory for the formatted list at that time.
It also gets displayed for help's "support information" ('?k').
For panic(), push "it may be possible to rebuild" to a second line since
the formatted usernames might make the line long.
Somewhere along the line I started removing redundant parentheses from
return statements, but only in files that needed continuation fixups
so it's not comprehensive.
Replace instances of strings split across lines which rely on C89/C90
implicit concatenation of string literals to splice them together
with single strings that are outdented relative to the code that uses
them. It's uglier but it won't break compile for pre-ANSI compilers.
This covers many files in src/ that only have one or two such split
strings. There are several more files which have three or more. Those
will eventually be '(2 of 2)'.
Noticed along the way: the fake mail message/subject
Report bugs to devteam@nethack.org.
wasn't using its format string of "Report bugs to %s.", so would have
just shown our email address. Doesn't anybody enable fake mail anymore?
I modified that format to enclose the address within angle brackets and
made a similar change for the 'contact' choice of the '?' command.
Add new entries to the menu used for the '/' command: describe nearby
monsters, describe all shown monsters, describe nearby objects, and
describe all shown objects. It makes a text window listing monsters--
or objects--currently displayed on the map, showing lines of
X r,c monster-or-object description
where 'X' is symbol (monster or object class letter for tty), 'r,c' is
row and column separated by comma, and description is similar to what
using '/y' or ';' manually would provide (how-seen info is omitted
when listing monsters).
Originally intended for blind players using screen readers to describe
what is displayed, but will probably get used by other players too.
The map doesn't use a separate set of glyphs for objects which are the
tops of piles, so the information that there are additional objects
beneath the ones shown isn't available to '/' and ';'. That feels like
a bug to me....
Remove second 'alt_i' initialization, which was first in implementation.
Superseded by the preceding line, which came later. Works either way,
but the conditional initalization avoids the two extra loop iterations
when they're not useful.
Fix two things with the ';' and '/' commands, both for looking at blank
space. The list of possibilies included "a dark part of a room or the
dark part of a room" even though the code involved goes out of its way
to avoid redundant clauses. S_stone let dark part be prefixed by 'a',
S_room and S_darkroom forced it to be 'the' which is better phrasing
but outsmarted the redundancy check. Make S_stone's use of "dark part
of a room" force 'the' too.
That's trivial; this is more complicated: the new maze variations
exposed/aggravated an issue that's been there all along. In a non-
WALLIFIED maze, doing look-at on the solid stone in-place-of-wall
next to you reported "dark part of a room" which is clearly wrong when
you can tell it's not a room. (The same thing happens in any ordinary
corridor, but players rarely try to identify blank space next to them
it that circumstance so it hasn't mattered very much.) This change
results in look-at listing "unexplored" and "stone" as additional
possibilities when looking at blank spots. Final description will be
"unexplored" instead of dark room if you haven't seen the spot, "stone"
if you have and that's what it is, or "dark part of a room" otherwise.
From Boudewijn:
> I am currently swallowed by an ice vortex, and used the ; command
> to identify the \ on my top right.
>
> It said: "\ an opulent throne (interior of a monster)"
Now, when you're swallowed, and look at anything else than yourself,
you'll get "\ the interior of a monster (interior of an ice vortex)".
Based on the comment in the code, it seems this was the original
intention anyway.
Implement Boudewijn's suggestion that #name be extended to allow naming
something of the floor. I'm sure he wants this so that he can avoid
picking up gray stones, but it's something I started to implement years
ago (probably at an earlier suggestion from him...) and then forgot all
about.
This changes the #name menu to be
m - a monster
i - a particular object in inventory
o - the type of an object in inventory
f - the type of an object upon the floor
d - the type of an object on discoveries list
a - record an annotation for the current level
What do you want to name?
with the i and o choices omitted when inventory is empty. If the
'lootabc' option is set it will use a through f instead, but then the
last three entries change letters when inventory is empty. 'y' and 'n'
are still accelerators (effectively hidden choices) for the i and o
entries, corresponding to the answers for the 3.4.3 and earlier "name
an individual object?" prompt.
The floor choice asks you to pick a location. If you pick yourself,
then the top object of the pile underneath you is targetted. Otherwise,
the target must be an object glyph, and the object must have its dknown
bit set, so have previously been seen up close or revealed via blessed
potion of object detection. To make it be more useful, targetting an
object on an adjacent square will set the dknown bit. (Just the top
object if there is a pile there.) There's no cockatrice corpse touch
check since you aren't actually touching anything, just looking.
The setting of dknown bit for an adjacent object has been extended to
the '/' and ';' commands for examining things on the screen as well.
It's only done for adjacent spots you actively select, not all 8 spots
around you.
The code that intended to have mimics occasionally take on the form
of "strange object" always produced downstairs instead because
S_MIMIC_DEF is greater than MAXOCLASSES.
This problem was present in 3.4.3. I didn't try to go back to see
how long it's been there, but strange objects used to occur once
upon a time. Either nobody noticed that they'd gone away or there's
an alternate way to produce them.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
Avoid initializer for auto-class array since many pre-ANSI compilers
didn't support that. Also, when ESC is used to cancel inventory
selection, don't continue on searching for that selection in invent.
Still doesn't address the reported stack corruption.
* 'alt' points to a buffer which has already been processed by
lcase(), so remove the redundant call to that routine;
* common error exit accessed via 'goto' could potentially leave
a dangling window structure (only if 'data' is corrupted though;
it's the only way a failure at that late point could occur).
I didn't find Michael's crasher, but I did find a couple of minor
problems:
knight's saddled pony wasn't found in the file lookup either though
there is an entry for pony ("tame saddled <foo>" stripped off "tame "
but not "saddled "; "saddled <foo>" would only be found of there was
a wildcard entry key of "*<foo>", like "*horse" to catch both horse
and warhorse);
"wombat" matched the bat entry rather than reporting an unknown
entity.

Don't use glyph_to_cmap as an array index into
the defsyms[] array unless it really is a cmap.
Recent situation: glyph_to_cmap will return
NO_GLYPH for the unknown monster glyph 'I', which
is not a valid index for the defsyms[] array.
When user presses '/', pop up a meny asking what the user wants to
look at:
What do you want to look at:
a - something on the map
b - something you're carrying
c - something else
This replaces the "Specify unknown object by cursor?" -prompt,
while keepng backwards compatibility, and also allows querying
about items in the inventory.
Pressing '@' will move the cursor on top of the hero.
Pressing '#' will toggle automatic description mode, where
the feature under the cursor is automatically described
when the cursor is moved.

When the previous occurrence that triggered a segfault
was fixed, I didn't check for more of them. It turns out there
were more instances.
This also removes some dead code.
Changes to be committed:
modified: src/pager.c
Steps to reproduce the reported segfault:
Use / command, answer n, press space and enter
In do_look() variable glyph is only set to a proper
value if using the screen (from_screen) or the
mouse (clicklook).
On the code path that triggered the segfault,
glyph was being passed to mapglyph with a random
arbitrary value.
If glyph had been initialized at the start of
do_look(), it would have prevented the segfault,
but would have always displayed a giant ant or
something silly instead of the correct thing.
Don't use glyph except under
from_screen || clicklook.
This reverts commit 7f0f43e6f9 and some related
subsequent commits.
This compiles, but I have not done extensive testing.

For text data processed by makedefs at install time, change all
printf and scanf calls that use %lx format to deal with unsigned long
variables, replacing the makedefs hack of a few days ago. It's not as
clean as I would have liked (quite a few casts), because the values
involved are derived from ftell and/or passed to fseek, which deal in
signed longs. But it clears up a few format check warnings by gcc in
rumors.c and pager.c in addition to the previous one in makedefs.c and
uses the right data type even in the places where no warning was issued.
Show the 'v' output (full version number plus build date-time) as
the first line of '#version' output (build time configuration settings).
It isn't simple to do that when generating dat/options (there's some
port-specific tweaking going), so do it at run-time by processing that
file one line at a time instead of passing it through a pager routine.
This also inserts an "About NetHack" entry as the first choice in
the menu for '?', the way that most Windows programs have interactive
help organized. Picking that gives the same output as using #version.
'make depend' manually updated for Unix and VMS (add dlb.h to version.*).
On crash signal or panic(), use a configurable method to get a stacktrace
the user can easily report to us. Currently only for Unix/Linux and only
ifdef BETA. Hopefully ports can add additional methods.
Bits:
- linux hints file had PREFIX definition in the wrong place
- sample sysconf file used wrong delimiter for WIZARDS
- fix grammar error in support message when using sysconf.wizards
- options.c comment typo
- capitalize "Crash test" output from #panic command
A mimic posing as a statue was displayed as a tengu statue (and
recognizeable as such now that statues are displayed as the corresponding
monster rather than rock-class back tick), but the lookat code described
it as a giant ant statue (since there was no obj->corpsenm available to
indicate the monster type, it defaulted to 0). This adds monst->mextra
field `mcorpsenm' so that mimics have a place to remember what sort of
statue or corpse they are mimicking. And it picks a random monster type
when they take such forms so that the old tengu hack becomes irrelevant.
newmextra() and newoextra() initialized pointers via memset(...,0)
which is not portable; switch to explicit assignments. The wizard mode
code to display memory used for monsters and objects added in amounts
for the miscellaneous things pointed to by monst->mextra and obj->oextra
structs but didn't include memory for those structs themselves; add it.
Simplify monster save/restore slightly; there's no need for extra zeroes
to represent monst->mextra->X sizes when monst->mextra is null.
Update the startup banner for 2009. I should have done this with a
separate patch but I'm taking a shortcut. :-]
I almost abandoned this when Michael beat me to it, but besides
handling the fruit rename bug it also moves `current_fruit' into the
context structure to eliminate separate save/restore for that.
Reported recently by <Someone>: probing feedback while engulfed
shouldn't claim that the monster is not carrying anything when the hero
is inside of it. The simple case where it's not carrying anything else
was a trivial one line change; handling inventory plus hero was trickier
and I wouldn't have bothered if I'd realized what it was going to take.
But it's done now; trivial case
The purple worm is not carrying anything besides you.
and harder case
The purple worm's possessions:
Weapons
a - an uncursed dagger
Swallowed Creature
> - human archeologist called wizard
infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build
time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really
under user control
generalize contact info so it can be localized and it doesn't have to be
an email address
move recently introduced WIZARDS into sysopt
drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility
new function build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated list: A. A or B. A, B, or C.
syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT RECOVER
SUPPORT specifies local support information
RECOVER will eventually supply port-specific and/or localized info on how
to run recover (or get it run for you).
Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to pcsys.o
Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
Reported a month ago by <email deleted>, putting on
a cloak of invisibility while blind and then using ';' or '/' to examine
yourself revealed that you had become invisible. This fix just changes
the lookat() output when you can't see that you can't see yourself. :-)
Probing and stethoscope still reveal invisibility, as will any message
which uses x_monnam() to identify the hero. (First part is intentional;
last part seems not worth bothering about--I'm not even sure that the
player can arrange to trigger it.)
Several small related changes that ended up being not quite so small:
Allow the Amulet of Yendor to be offered on the altar in the temple
of Moloch's Sanctum level; doing so is fatal. Fake ones can be offered
too, but that doesn't do anything special (they act the same as they do in
the temples on the Astral level). Unlike in the endgame, the Amulet and
its fakes aren't listed as likely candidate for #offer's pick-an-object
prompt; like the endgame, corpses must be carried rather than being on
the altar in order to be sacrificed.
Prevent non-chaotics from destroying the chaotic high altar on the
Astral level via same-race sacrifice. From a bug report. (Chaotics converting non-chaotic high altars
via same method was already handled. I think the behavior for ordinary
altars if wrong here; why should a chaotic altar be destroyed this way?)
Prevent demon princes and demon lords from being summoned in the
endgame. Lesser demons answer instead. Mostly prevents Yeenoghu from
being summoned by a chaotic who performs same-race sacrified on the
chaotic high altar, but might affect the Wizard and arch-liches too.
Identify (via ':', ';', '/') altars in temples on the Astral and
Sanctum levels as "high altars" rather than just as "altars". '/' and ';'
commands now work on those when you're adjacent, like they do when used on
adjacent high priests; from farther away, the altars' alignment is still
suppressed.
This patch attempts to add some levels of unicode support
to NetHack.
The master on/off switch for any Unicode support is
defining UNICODE_SUPPORT in config.h. Currently
there is code support for two subsets of unicode support:
UNICODE_DRAWING
If UNICODE_DRAWING is defined, then the data
structures used to house drawing symbols are expanded
to the size of wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters.
A typdef called `nhsym' is involved and if UNICODE_DRAWING
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is uchar.
UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
If UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT is defined, then the data
structures inside the window port are expanded to the size of
wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters. Both map
symbols and text within the window port are expanded, in order
for potential support for displaying multinational characters some
day, but this patch only provides viewing of map symbols.
A typdef called `nhwchar' is involved and if UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is char.
The only window port with code support for UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
currently is the TTY port. Don't enable UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
unless:
- it is a TTY port
- the underlying platform specific routines can
handle the larger data structures.
Don't enable UNICODE_SUPPORT unless:
- your compiler can handle wchar_t.
- your compiler can accept L'a' characters.
- your compiler can accept L"wide" strings.
Note that if your compiler can handle the above, you could
enable the larger data structures (currently if TTY) even if your
platform can't actually display unicode or UTF-8, by messing
with u_putch() in win/tty/wintty.c to only deal regular chars.
That should be the only function that actually pushes wide characters
out to the display.
If you enable UNICODE_SUPPORT, and your platform is capable
you will need to turn on the unicode run-time option to be able to
load unicode character sets from the symbol file, to be able to
push unicode characters to the display. You'll also want to load
a unicode symbol set once the unicode option is toggled on. In
a config file you would do that via these two lines:
OPTIONS=unicode
OPTIONS=symset:Unicode_non_US
The repository was stamped with NETHACK_PRE_UNICODE
prior to applying this patch, and stamped with
NETHACK_POST_UNICODE afterwards. The code differences
between those two tagged versions are this patch.
